Wellington Lake and Rex Rock

Today we had a late breakfast at the Cutthroat Cafe and then ventured down to Wellington Lake to explore and try out some trails. What a beautiful dream land! Castle Mountain sits behind Wellington Lake. I'll elaborate more on the area in future posts, but for now, the photos will tell our stories. As we winded towards the town of Pine, we came across a rock formation that locked like a Tyranosaurus Rex head. We attempted to climb to the top but I stopped just a few feet short..Jason kept going a little ways (brave, he is!)..I settled on a warm flat rock and we ate our lunch overlooking Mount Evans and gorgeous Ponderosa pines. On our way back down, Jason decided he had lost his wallet along the way and so began a thirty minute hunt down the trail for a small brown object. We trudged thru snow and mud..and still, no sign of wallet. Until we arrived at the RV. Yes...there it was, patiently waiting for us in the cup holder of the Bandit. We ventured on and came to a picturesque area where Jason decided to give me a brief lesson in fly fishing. What a rush, I did well and can't wait until we actually practice when there's fish in the Platte. Our day ended with drinks and an entree at a rustic yet modern restaurant in Pine Grove, called Zoka's. www.zokas.com Really cool place.

Below are some photos. I hope you enjoy. Love from us xoxo.
